Ik had gehoopt op meer wind, maar helaas. Met noordenwind moet het hier wel flink waaien wil het opwegen tegen alle ellende veoorzaakt door de mosselbanken, de stenen, de korte rakjes en het gekloot om weer upwind te komen.

Real world speed at het Kuitje, not the best conditions not the best speeds but we had some wind and the angle was great (in the gusts).
This session I had time to find out how the speed proto was in chop and how it compaired tot the speed.
The third run was on the proto. You had to have a little luck with the gust's.

't Kuitje showed his bad side today, unconsitent chop+deep downwind+short course= THE classic ingredients to ruin my speedsession. Started with the W49, but at that moment it was in combination with my favorite sonntag GPS_2 not controlable, good to know soo another design should be made for these conditions.
Changed to the iSonic 86+ GPS_2 300, suddenly 100% control. Changed the fin to the caspar speed 29cm and did my 69km/h run, this is good. On these choppy downwind courses a powerfull but still rather short fin does work very good. The iSonic 86 made my day, after I rerigged my 6.2 again it was such a nice ride.
Peter did really good today, he proved that a speedboard can be very fast in these conditions. Next time I should keep using the W49 and see what happens, I hope this would help to be competitive on nasty chop too.
I get crazy about the alpha500, tried many times today but it seems like when I want to do it the conditions don't work (for me). Just want to improve my alpha, the current PR is definitly not superfast!!!! Tried a lot of alpha's but it just wasn't fast today, wonder if someone else did a good alpha????
Still very satisfied about today, did some tuning on the Reflex and the "big" board was flying. Rigged the 6.2 twice with different tuning, learned to stick by the good tuning.

Tsja, ja nou ja, wat moet je hier over zeggen. Had op mer gehoopt, maar het viel tegen. Vin in de eerste run een cm kleiner gemaakt. Niet iets om over naar huis te schrijven al met al.

Forecast for Kuitje was very good, NNO 7, last year i broke the spotrecord (81,45) with simular conditions. Today is was a disaster, left home with consistent 14 m/s and in the north part of holland it was only half of the strengt, back home again its still blowing strong.... I really need to move to south of France, having so much fun sailing over there the whole day without tide restrictions.
Made offcourse the wrong decision to take the 53 liter speedboard with the 21cm fin, most other speeders were on boards with more volume. I managed only one time to get the board sort of loose from the surface, that was it.
Surprised that the lightweigt guys with bigger boards were not faster today. Peter is always sailing technically very strong and pulled of many good runs considering the bad conditions.

Tried something different today. First went out on the Missile XS which was way too bouncy. Couldn't put pressure on the fin because most of the time the fin was in the air.
Didn't bring the Falcon speed because the car was too small. Tried the JP 54 wide, way too wide for me to go really fast with. It didn't perform too bad, although later on when the course got flatter a less wide board would have been better.
Happy I tried it, at least I could plane easily and sail back upwind relaxed in the pretty crappy conditions. Not my day with the left foot in front.

Vanmiddag even op de speedproto van fanatic gevaren, het board ligt zeer los op het water, waar ik in het begin een beetje aan moest wennen. maar naar een paar runs ging het steeds beter,en sneller. Heb alleen niet veel geluk gehad met de vlagen. Vond het vandaag niet makkelijk, veel chop, korte baan,en vlagerig. had mischien beter met 7,0 kunnen varen.

Het Kuitje hoort super vlak te zijn, maar Noord is niet ideaal.... Iig toch een paar lekkere runs gemaakt, maar zonder echt snel te zijn.
